The Pros And Cons Of Immigrants In America

1 million immigrants move to America each year due to it being an exceptional nation. We are an exceptional nation because we have more rights than any other country, we are more equal than most, and we also have more of a choice in our government than the rest of the world. America is the one country everybody is fighting to get into due to its amount of freedom.

Immigrants leave their country for America because it is supposed to be a better place. A

June 2012 was a year with a huge break through on illegal immigration, and the fight to set the decision right. Opportunities to improve immigrants careers, schooling, and lives, who were born in the United States and plan on staying are on the rise. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was created to provide immigrants with an opportunity to stay in the States “legally,” but continue their lives through education if graduating from an U.S. high school, going to college, serving in the armed forces, and eventually gain citizenship in the United States. Many U.S. citizen have many thoughts and views on illegal immigrants and immigration in general, and the pros and cons to having DACA support illegal immigrants to stay in the country. There is a huge decision in process currently in 2017 that is putting DACA in risk from being a Federal Program that would end up effecting many immigrants. Threatening deportation and the possibility of losing everything that DREAMers have worked up to and for and are continuing to work towards is at a huge risk of just being thrown away. Keeping DACA and protecting the DREAMers is important because mentally and physically they are just as much of a U.S. citizen as anyone else born in the U.S.

Immigration and naturalization seem to be a relentless ever present concern of the American government. The immigration of different European, Jewish, Asian, and Hispanic groups during different eras of American history have continuously raised interest in how the government should balance America’s reputation for being a welcoming place where anyone can succeed, without sacrificing the economy. One group which was especially targeted and discriminated against by the legal system throughout American history was Asian immigrants. This is evident in naturalization laws, and the results of Supreme Court cases petitioned by predominantly Chinese as well as other Asian groups such as Japanese and Hindus.

“I came to America because I heard the streets were paved with gold. When I got here, I found out three things. First, the streets weren’t paved with gold; second, they weren’t paved at all: and third, I was expected to pave them” an old Italian immigrant once said. Immigrants faced many obstacles coming to America such as finding work, finding a place to live, acclimating to their new surroundings and learning to communicate. When immigrants came to America, they expected their life to become better and have an easier life.

Today, tThe visible number of unauthorized immigrants today in the US points to the fact that US immigration laws are outdated and inadequate to meet the 21st century needs of the nation in the 21st century. In American politics, Iimmigration reform has largely remained as a “valence” issue in American politics. Often, Tthe issue of immigration reform has often been overshadowed by other events from foreign wars, and national security threats to and the Great Recession that trickled down the in the US economy. Moreover, the hostile environment of partisan politics further impeded impedes comprehensive reform in the “broken” US immigration system. In the primetime address, President Obama expressed the dire need of Comprehensive

Immigrants are bad for the U.S because they are taking the scarce amount of jobs that citizens are fighting for.First off, according to Howard W. Foster a lawyer whose main cases are involving the employment of illegal immigrants, over 450,000 legal immigrants come to the U.S every year, and over 700,000 illegal immigrants come to the U.S every year and are fighting with citizens to get their jobs. Since there are not that much jobs out there, with over one million immigrants they should not be priority over citizens who deserve these jobs.Another piece of evidence from Howard Foster shows that immigrants are bad for the U.S because most of the immigrants coming over are uneducated and have no experience with any technical jobs, so they have

With an estimated 11.7 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. today, immigration reform has been a volatile issue that hasn’t been adequately addressed throughout the 21st century. With the last major overhaul occurring in 1986, when over 3 million immigrants were granted U.S. citizenship, politicians are saying another major overhaul is needed to address the newer generation of illegal immigrants. Legislations including the Border Protection, Anti-terrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006, and the DREAM act of 2012 have all tried to address the depressing need for immigration reform but have failed due to lack of bipartisan support. Still, political leaders urge for

In the late 1800s, the era of immigration had begun. America’s borders were flooded with various ethnic groups pursuing the “American Dream”, an opportunity to better oneself through hard work and perseverance. Yet for most people, the “American Dream” never came true, because of difficult and dangerous work, few advancement opportunities, and racism. The Slovak families in Out of This Furnace, the Krachas and Dobrejcaks, provide good examples. The first members of these families, Djuro Kracha and Mike Dobrejcak, were first generation Slovak immigrants. These two men and other members of their families, like Kracha’s daughter Mary and Mike’s son Dobie, never achieved the lasting material prosperity that was the American Dream. Much of their

During 2015 and 2016, thousands of immigrants, from just Syria, Iraq, and other countries in the region, moved westward to the United States. These immigrants left their home countries for the U.S. seeking safety from the ongoing Syrian Civil War and terrorist groups such as ISIS. By not allowing illegal immigrants in the U.S. to become legal citizens, they will face deportation back into those unsafe environments in their home countries. Subsequently, more than 11 million immigrants are estimated to live in the U.S. today. These immigrants are factory workers, teachers, business owners, waiters, and people like every other American. Illegal immigrants should be allowed to become U.S. citizens because their home countries are too dangerous

Illegal immigrants are those people who are staying in US without any permit. They are staying here but they birth kids, who are by born US citizen, are need education which is the basic needs. In general, there are five basic needs, foods, shelter, cloth, good treatment and education. Yes, my opinion is, they need to literate the children. It does not matter whether they are illegal kids or kids of illegal people. Mental growth and human development depend on education. If one kid from illegal parents, does get a very good grade. Is it written down on the grade sheet that his parents are illegal? It just says that he got a good grade. To help educate every child, taxpayers should take the responsibility to take some measure to make sure

It may be stereotypical to say that many successful doctors come from India. What if I told you that most foreign-born immigrants are very successful in America, would you believe me? Immigrants possess a unique work ethic which is much different from those born here in the United States of America. Their upbringing, lack of economy, food, shelter, etc. makes them who they are. They take initiative to achieve more because they came from less, whereas most of us in the U.S. has had privileges.

Our country is known as a country of immigrants. Doors are open all the time for those who are willing to come legally to add an extra values to our nation. Our country needs immigrants who have ideas, skills, and knowledge to allow us leading the world. We do not need immigrants who are willing to enter to our soil illegally and become dependent on our government help. Our country needs people who are proud to be independent, supporting their families, and paying their income taxes. Those taxes help the government improve and build our road, schools, hospitals, and more. If our officials become more tolerant with illegal immigrants, they are automatically facing our country and economy to jeopardy. Our officials should learn from what happen

Pros and Cons of Illegal Immigration Illegal immigration is a huge issue residing in Canada. With approximately 35,000 to 120,000 illegal immigrants in Canada (National Post, Canadians Want Illegal Immigrants Deported: Pol) many pros and cons are present in such situations. One of the pros of illegal immigration is that the immigrants are promised a better life. Canada is a first world country and many immigrants illegally come here to have a better life. If the immigrants were to have a child here, the child will immediately become a citizen of Canada and gain better opportunities.

In America we have very distinct class system. You’re either poor, middle class, or wealthy. Of course America’s class system is flexible, so you can move up-or down easily. The only problem is most people don’t succeed in moving up, and if they do it’s a whole new world. Your social class makes it so you have a different perspective on immigration. This idea is shown when you compare “Quilt of a Country” and “The Immigrant Contribution”.
